The Moose Knuckles video also shows a boxing match between a man and a topless woman, set to a rap song featuring several instances of the N-word.

"All Sports Experts retailers in Quebec and other provinces have agreed to withdraw the Moose Knuckles products from their stores," Sports Experts said on its website.

The Simons clothing store also said it would pull Moose Knuckles products from its shelves.

Montreal-based Moose Knuckles apologized following the outcry but it had not taken down the video as of Wednesday.

"We apologize to anyone who might have been offended by this satirical campaign," the company said in a statement. "The ... advertisement is a burlesque parody to discourage violence and to show the stupidity of prejudice."

Moose Knuckles appeared far more defiant when a woman emailed the company to complain about the ad.
